LONDON, Today: Colenso BBDO’s Cannes Lions Grand Prix-winning creatives, Charlotte Upton and Callum McDonal, have joined adam&eveDDB in the UK.
The pair, who won the Radio Grand Prix at Cannes Lions this year for Skinny Phone It In campaign, worked on Colenso accounts including Mars, WWF, and Spark.
Upton and McDonald were also named Emerging Talent of the Year at Axis 2023, and picked up two D&AD Yellow Pencils and two Grands Prix at the Spikes Asia.
Campaign Brief AU quoted Ant Nelson and Mike Sutherland, ECDs at adam&eveDDB: “Charlotte and Callum are a force to be reckoned with.
“It was all for nothing because I’m back to make ads for the top creative agency in the UK. I’m sure they’d understand.”
“In the short period of time they’ve been in the industry they’ve made some really interesting, different shaped work and we couldn’t be happier to have them at the agency.”
McDonald said: “150 years ago my ancestors spent six terrifying months sailing from Britain to New Zealand to secure a better life for them and their descendants.
“It was all for nothing because I’m back to make some ads for the top creative agency in the UK. I’m sure they’d understand.”
Upton said: “We’re ready to learn a lot from the talented folks at adam&eveDDB, ride a Boris bike and for our accents to become a muddled, confused mess.”
